If this is our next life and we are to 'correct' our wrongs, how are we to do that with out knowing our previous wrongs?

[Flying Sheep]

I reckon that, in order to right your wrongs, even those made in a past life, you must be able to truly recognize that no-one is perfect, and that it IS impossible to truly right all your wrongs. Aknowledging them, accepting them, and taking responsibility for them is the way to go.

Are you relieving your life right now?
Most likely not. I was disproving the theory that we can relive our lives because right now we are not reliving them, and the chance that this is the first live through is near impossible...

Last night, I figured out that there might be a way for the circular logic to possibly work.
Let's start with the first stament, and assume that we are not living our first life.
Then you may ask, how can we be not reliving our lives?
It is simple really. We are now living a different life, not reliving out first one.
Therfore, it can also be considered a new life, as well as a second one.

or we could all just be in some kind of dream state on an alien spacecraft waiting to be harvested.

Any argument starting with an assumption is not one I can follow, nor am willing to try to. If you're living a different life how can it be a second one, it's a new life, separate from the old. There is a way I can accept that, though, which is in a physical sense and that's the little thing I said earlier about your atoms being in use later.

my head hurts from too much thinking

In a physical sense, yes, you are. In a mental sense, no, I don't believe so. For it to be a second life, you would have to have some recollection of your previous life, which would most likely exist deep down in your sub-conscious (I think, you know what I mean), at which is almost impossible to access at will, so we probably would never know, but it is possibly, if it is a second life, that the past experiences of your other lifes do affect you today, but again, it's pretty much impossible to really tell...

Are you a Buddhist/Hindu?

[BenBen]

Are you a Buddhist/Hindu?

I'm aethiest and i'm pretty sure FS believes in his own religeon which includes parts of other religeons.

Nay.

It's called theism technically, but it's a little different.

[atomtengeralattjaro]

that's fine unless you're an alltheist.

[BenBen]

lol

Atheist/nontheist/PEARList (Physical Evidence And Reasoned Logic)
Pick what you want.

[cyan]

what's the difference between atheist and nontheist?

[lunar_furor]

many would say the same but the difference is that society sees atheists as believing that there is no god and will state that claiming every religion wrong by default. Nontheists don't believe in any religion but don't call them wrong by default, they just point out the flaws. And a PEARList believes nothing that isn't proven.

Atheist covered these all just fine but I like to give options.

[Flying Sheep]

Yeh, lunar has a point. Atheist is quite a vague term, which I suppose is just used to describe anyone that opposes religion. It's just like calling Jews and Catholics the same because they both follow religion really.

[Shai'tan]

Not really, atheist means that you don't believe in a god. Nothing more, nothing less...

This is what I mean. People think that atheist means opposes religion, in all reality it just means without religion A(absence of)Theism(belief in A god) same as non-theist but people don't see it. Yes some atheists are militantly against religion but that's only some.

QFT.

about this PEARL thing: it's strange, but i find that the most important things in life are far beyond the realms of physical evidence and reason.
(not saying this as any kind of argument, just thought i'd share this)
